"Ughh. Let me sleep, little girl." I muttered, listening in on the conversation. Connor, whatever you do, please don't do anything... Just get Cain and Movie-star over there out of here. Go back to the house. I'll get out of this. I said. Then I started thinking to myself.

I feel humiliated. I'm the youngest and they're trying to help and all I'm doing is saying not to. I think I'm a bad brother.

i know, it's just a matter of Cains temper- oh no! I'll get back to you.

What to do?! I shoved my way through the crowd to join Cain and whoever that guy was.

"Cain, I think it's time to leave. Guy, you should come with us," I offered a smile to the crowd, but Scarlett interfered. She grabbed onto my wrist with a strong grip, but I shook her off. She fell down and stared at me in shock. I grabbed Cain and tried to find a kind way around, but there was no way out without someone getting hurt...

I was getting sick of these humans, and I still hadn't eaten yet. On top of that, it was all my fault that my family was in so much trouble. Luckily, the moon was starting to rise, and it would be full for the second time this month. Connor gasped, and his face flew into vision phase. He grabbed onto my arm, then gave me a worried look.

"don't do it Cain, please."

i shook him him off and forced my way through the crowd, shoving down anybody who got in my way. Scarlett ran ahead of me, allowing several others into her house with a grin on her face. I stood right outside her door, waiting for the perfect moment, if it ever came...

I sensed a very familiar spark of wreckless determination headed what's-her-face's way. Oh come on Cain! Please don't make things worse! I sighed into the pillow. I shut my eyes tighter, trying to mentally connect with Cain's phone. I made it vibrate, sending a mental text:

I turned over. "It's fine. Really, it is. Was fun to talk to humans." I replied in my "I don't care," voice, brushing some hair out of my face and smiling. I glanced at the girl who still didn't properly introduce herself, feeling a bit satisfied. I stood up and set the blanket and pillow down neatly.

"Oh, and to clear up some... Things, for you all... I am not a 'specimin.' I have emotions. I am not someone's lab rat. If you're curious about vampires, have the courtesy to ask politely. Now, I'm truly sorry for wasting some of everyone's time... If we're all done here, we ARE actually out of milk, little girl. Please excuse me while I go and be more HUMAN than some of you sick, twisted people." I got angrier towards the end, but held it in. I walked out of the house, trying to act calm. I sent Cain another mental message.

"I'm gonna go actually get milk, I seriously think we're out. Don't do anything to anyone, I might try and get blood if you want... What do you want for dinner? Oh, and where's Fancy-Pants and Connor?"

"I know, I know," I propped her up."let's get you home, and whatever you do, don't fall asleep!"

we we took a few steps until I had to fully carry her, and I had to slow down to let the scientists pass. Scarlett came out, and I cursed to myself. Of course she had to interfere at a dire time like this!

I kept listening and checking Cain and what's her face as I walked to the store. I bought some milk (and parachute cord while I was at the store), and caught up to see Connor, Cain, and that one scientist-wannabe. "I can carry her, if you'd like." I told Connor. I mentally connected with the lights in her house and flashed a few lights and made one burst. I then turned to the human.

"You.... What do you want? Don't you have something better to do? Like check and see the lights in your house? I heard one burst."

"yes, please. She's pretty heavy," Connor said, handing her to Jackson. One of my lights busted, and I jumped.

I held my hands up at Jacksons question. "Hey, you guys have already ruined my life, I have nothing left to want. Your friend there looks pretty tired, and I am curious to know why, though."

"had you not taken our brother here, Cain wouldn't have had to use her power in the weak stage she was, and she wouldn't be at death level right now!" Connor released some of his anger. "I promised to keep her well, and you made me break my promise!"

"I had no idea you guys had these types of powers! Don't blame me!" I yelled back. The accusation stung. "I can help if you want, but we are going to have to treat each other with respect if so."

Cain coughed a few times before trying to get out of the hold. "I'm fine! I just need a nap, and we'll be good to go. We don't need her help."

"No, thank for your service." I said in slight mockery. "We're older than you, therefore more experienced; especially when it comes to things of our own RACE. You've already shown cluelessnes, ignorance, and were extremely rude to the vampires you now offer assistance to. Good luck on your strive to greatness or whatever you do in your time other than annoy people. But we have a family member to take care of and you have a lightbulb to fix! Try making yourself better before you think of your race, as I said before... Little girl." I said, hugging Cain close to me then starting off to take the long way home as a just-in-case-this-chick-follows thing.

"It's alright, Cain. We'll get home and you can nap and stuff." I muttered.

"I'll catch up with you two in a minute," I looked Jackson in the eyes. "Don't let her sleep. If she sleeps, she dies."

i waited until they left, then turned to Scarlett. "I'm not supposed to do this, but I need some of your blood. It will be the quickest way to help her.."

"I'm not just giving up my blood unless I come with you," Scarlett crossed her arms.

"Fine, but Jackson is going to hate me for this, so be prepared to hide when we get there."

Cain:

"You can put me down, I can walk," I insisted, even if it was a lie. I was not going to be considered useless unless I had to. "If you really want to, though, I might as well sleep while I'm here. That talking really took the energy out of me."

i tried to to wiggle out again, but it didn't work. As the house came into view, I closed my eyes for just a second...

I looked down to see that Cain closed her eyes. I shook her firmly. "Nooooo!" I said cheesily. "Don't you dare! We're almost home, okay? Are you hot? Cold? Hungry? Thirsty? I actually did get milk if you want cereal."

My eyes went wide and I felt my face heat up out of rage. I set Cain gently down on the couch. "Explain well. The same human that exposed us to others and trapped not only myself, but Cain in her house is now in OUR household. There'd better have a reason better than, 'I was hungry.' or something like that... It's bad enough we had to deal with her the majority of the day!" I said, trying my hardest not to raise my voice. I cleared my throat.

"Since we are in our own home again, if she does anything.... ANYTHING, use your powers. I'm gonna go to my room." I said, storming off, up the stairs, and to the left, last door on the right. I went right into my room and shut the door.

I leaned against the door and took a deep breath and closed my eyes. This isn't real. This is just a dream. And if it isn't... I bit myself hard. Nope. Not a dream... That little girl is actually here. Cain is dying. Connor brought an annoying little human into our house. I took another deep breath and opened my eyes. The same room it's been for two decades... The bronze, black, silver, and purple bed... The dark oak wood dresser and nightstand. The dark blue desk with my silver laptop on it... I liked my room.

Unfortunately, a comfortable room isn't enough to calm me down. I started pacing, ranting to myself about how aggravating today was and how embarrassed I felt that I was the youngest and that they were just trying to help me and how PATHETIC OF ME it was that I was the only one that even thought about that type of stuff.

"I mean honestly! What human in their right mind would do something like this?!" I ranted to myself, wanting to throw something. Then, I heard a knock at my door. I sighed with slight impaitence. "Come in."
